Given the context (stdin/stdout/stderr), I'd love to know what you're thinking of here. I can't name a program offhand that wants to operate on binary data via a pipeline. There are a few that *can*, like gzip, but my impression is that even those aren't often used that way anymore. -j _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
